Chapter 374: Battle Wolf (Continued)
Splash!
Zhang Yuan and White Wolf burst out of the water almost simultaneously, leaping several meters high.
In mid-air, Zhang Yuan suddenly swung the Taowu Saber at his formidable foe just ten paces away.
Without the water’s restriction, the Profound Soldiers abruptly erupted with a fierce and brilliant Blood Evil Blade Aura, sweeping majestically towards White Wolf, the might of Breaking Army sweeping all around.
Even someone as strong as White Wolf dared not take it head-on, sharply diving to dodge the Breaking Army Saber Momentum by a hair’s breadth.
Sizzle!
A scorched mark instantly appeared on the Silver Armor on his back.
He was still nicked by the Sword Aura.
White Wolf landed back on the water surface, and then shot forward at a speed comparable to a galloping horse, instantly putting distance between him and Zhang Yuan!
His figure moved like lightning, leaving a long wake on the water.
From a distance, he resembled a flying silver dragon!
Zhang Yuan had exerted tremendous effort to find this guy; how could he possibly watch him slip away right under his nose?
He fully engaged his "Carefree Travel" body technique, not sparing a bit of True Essence, pursuing White Wolf in the same manner.
Glancing back during his escape, White Wolf’s heart filled with resentment.
Though he possessed the Undying Body of a Celestial Being, he cherished this new life greatly.
Other Celestial Beings entered this world through legitimate channels, so even if they died here, their Divine Soul Consciousness would return, allowing them to come back again.
But White Wolf had sneaked in, and if he died, his chance to re-enter was slim to none.
Even if another chance to sneak in came, the price would be unbearable for him!
For this reason, when White Wolf sensed Zhang Yuan’s threat on the tower ship earlier, he chose to keep a low profile rather than act.
It was the same underwater just now.
Realizing Zhang Yuan was a tough opponent, he decisively fled.
White Wolf believed he could take down Zhang Yuan at some cost, but if he failed, it wouldn’t be worth it!
Zhang Yuan turned out to be even more troublesome than he imagined.
Fury flashed in White Wolf’s eyes as he suddenly spread his arms upward.
Crack!
With a rumble, the armor on his arms unfolded, forming silver-white wings.
The speed of the Celestial Being’s escape suddenly increased!
This "Flying Flood Dragon Armor" was acquired by White Wolf in a chance encounter at the Great Dream Marsh, a top-notch Profound Artifact. Equipping it not only greatly enhanced his strength and speed but also endowed him with exceptional underwater combat abilities.
Its defense was also commendable; overall, its attributes were nearly perfect!
If there was a downside, it was that activating the power of this Profound Armor required a large amount of True Qi.
With White Wolf’s current Tier Five cultivation, he couldn’t sustain full power for long.
Zhang Yuan being able to fight him evenly underwater genuinely surprised him, finding it almost unbelievable.
This Celestial Being made a similar judgment regarding Zhang Yuan.
He believed the Dragon Carp Armor had given Zhang Yuan a battle strength equal to his own!
But White Wolf still had his trump card.
With the Flying Flood Dragon Armor’s astonishing speed, Zhang Yuan was left far behind in moments.
However, White Wolf’s True Essence consumption accelerated sharply.
Before long, a small Land Island appeared ahead.
The next moment, White Wolf suddenly soared into the sky, drawing a long, arcing trajectory in the air.
He landed securely on the island shore!
Turning around, his cold, merciless eyes reflected the image of the pursuing Zhang Yuan.
A moment later, Zhang Yuan also landed on the island.
Separated by dozens of steps from White Wolf, they formed a standoff!
"You’re strong."
White Wolf suddenly said, "If I’m not mistaken, you are Blood Saber Butcher Chen Zian!"
"My real name is Zhang Yuan."
Zhang Yuan said flatly, "Blood Saber Butcher is just a pseudonym."
"Pseudonym?"
White Wolf’s eyes suddenly became peculiar, "I didn’t expect a native like you to know such a term; did you hear it from that bitch Dongfang Mingyue?"
Zhang Yuan didn’t respond.
The pursuit on the water and the intense battle underwater earlier had caused a slight turbulence in his Qi Blood and True Essence, thus taking his conversation with White Wolf as a chance to recover.
Presumably, the same went for White Wolf; otherwise, he wouldn’t be wasting words!
Both parties tacitly understood.
But they also knew, only one could leave alive today!
White Wolf sneered, "Zhang Yuan, you should know we Celestial Beings all have Undying Bodies. Are you sure you want to risk your only life for a bone tossed by Dongfang Mingyue?"
"If you leave now, we’ll pretend nothing happened between us!"
Zhang Yuan laughed, "You talk too much."
Before the words even finished, he lunged forward, responding with the fiercest attack.
"Foolish!"
A greenish hue flashed across White Wolf’s face as he suddenly folded his arms, shouting angrily, "Fly!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Flying Flood Dragon Armor on him instantly shattered into hundreds of armor pieces, whistling out in all directions.
Enveloping Zhang Yuan!
The edges of each flying armor piece were extremely sharp, flashing with a sinister cold light; their speed was not only fast but also erratic in flight path.
Completely sealing off Zhang Yuan’s escape space!
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yuan was plunged into danger.
But in this critical moment, Zhang Yuan, calm and composed, suddenly halted his movement and swung the Taowu Saber, using the disorderly windbreaker move to meet the densely approaching Profound Flood Dragon Armor!
The next moment, the sound of metal clashing rang incessantly.
The approaching flying armor pieces were slashed, knocked away, repelled one after another...
Zhang Yuan stood firm like a reef facing the raging sea, unmoved despite all the crashing waves.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Two wounds suddenly appeared on his left arm and right leg.
Two flying armor pieces that weren’t deflected in time cut through his Dragon Carp Armor, causing fresh blood to spurt forth.
Zhang Yuan didn’t even furrow his brow, the muscles near the wounds instantly tensed, and the bleeding stopped immediately.
The Six Harmonies Qilin Body’s powerful self-healing ability instantly showed its effect.
"Converge!"
White Wolf gave another decisive shout, and all the Profound Armor attacking Zhang Yuan flew back, re-covering his body.
It must be said, this maneuver was extremely impressive!
Yet there wasn’t a trace of satisfaction in White Wolf’s eyes for wounding Zhang Yuan; rather, a hint of anxiety emerged.
The Profound Flood Dragon Armor’s inherent killing move wielded enormous power.
He had used it before to kill a Tier Five strongman!
Now, deploying it again, it merely inflicted a trivial injury on Zhang Yuan.
Leaving him greatly disappointed!
This Celestial Being, once again, felt the urge to retreat.
In truth, at this moment, White Wolf didn’t realize that his repeated hesitation and avoidance made it impossible for him to become a truly strong Martial Arts practitioner!
"Kill!"
Zhang Yuan keenly sensed the shift in his opponent’s mindset, attacking again without hesitation!
